palaeofail:Found at the Field Museum.This thing’s hands/front feet are also seriously messed up. Sauropods walked on the tips of their fingers, not their paims; as a result, their hands were highly modified and columnar, in order to better transfer stress straight down the bones. (From Milàn et al, 2005)Their hands were somewhat lima bean shaped in cross section.Additionally, the beginning of the Jurassic occurred closer to 201 million years ago, not 206. -- source link
